Hi Becca,

Thanks for sending us the clip. I don't know it looks kinda scary to me. I hope it's a long time before I need a fill. I am so sore now the thought of it makes me want to run and hide. Enjoyed Monday nite can't wait for next the second Monday in September.

Hi galati25. I know what you mean. That film scared the britches off of me. Made me decide NEVER to have a fill. I hope it looked worse than it is. Ugh..scary.

Welcome to Bandster Heaven Pammycakes!! SchexyMomma, we had our surgery around the same time - be fun to get together and swap stories of the adventure so far - Nancy, see that tickers moving right along - congrats!

Becca - thanks so much for posting the fill video - I was just saying that it looks scarier than it really is - but I'm just really squeamish around needles - always have been. But, the fill never hurt, it's more in my mind than anything else.

Sorry I sent off my post before I was finished. I want to say congratulations on your banding and I hope you are feeling well. The first few days are a little shakey (I am 9 days banded today) but it's up hill from there.

Thanks Munchkin. I am doing pretty good. Just a little sore and feeling a bit weak but feeling better today than I did yesterday. Getting use to what I can eat. I was able to start mushies today.

I am going to try to make it to the next meeting. Make my way across traffic taking my life into my own hands. lol I look forward to meeting with some fellow bandsters.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
